Honestly, this article is deeply concerning. The amount of fear-based propaganda is extraordinary. It’s also quite revealing in its religious discrimination, especially against Muslims. First of all, Europe isn’t unlivable because of immigrants—the real issues are the lack of housing and the rising cost of food. With limited land and densely packed cities, many European countries have struggled to house their own citizens since the early 2000s. The article opens with the line: “Now that a critical mass of voters in our largest city have decided to support a socialist Muslim rapper from Uganda who openly despises every founding principle of this country…” a sentence loaded with xenophobic, Islamophobic, and racially charged implications. It then goes on to make wild claims that New York, under this so-called "Muslim socialist" ideology, would “eliminate the police department,” “nationalize the grocery stores,” and “fund sex changes for children.” These statements are not only exaggerated but have no grounding in actual policy proposals. To claim that New York would become “completely uninhabitable” under such a platform is irresponsible. Rather than promoting discussion or understanding, this kind of rhetoric fuels fear, division, and misinformation.
